The Sunday school classes have finished up our series on Dr. Seuss.We have begun a new series titled “Heroes.”In this series, we will learn that by followingthe examples of courage, commitment, loyalty, and honor from the heroes of old, we too can learn to put our trust in God and live heroic lives ourselves.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”Hebrews 12:1
